Gorgeous deep pure fruit with a fresh core and complex gentle signs of age at the edges. Softened, intense and totally balanced. A whiff of sandalwood but pretty cherry and violets and plum. Excellent.

1978 Bruno Giacosa Riserva Especial Barolo. Needed a good 1.5 hour decant before it started showing. Got better at 2 hours. Sweetness upfront, strong acidity at finish.

The 1978 SSR is one of Italy's iconic wines. Deservedly so. A rare treat to have a bottle to savor over the course of an evening.
